Bear
When Bear’s owner James fell ill and was hospitalized, his extended family surrendered Bear to their local shelter indicating that James was not expected to survive and that they couldn’t keep him. That is when Sunny Saints stepped in to rescue Bear from the shelter. Bear is a BIG boy who loves to play with other dogs and loves women even more! In fact, Bear is a complete "chick magnet!" That's not to say that he doesn't like men too, he just seems to melt women’s hearts by shamelessly enticing them to give him belly rubs! Bear ended up having quite a following on Facebook and he even went to Hollywood to be on the “Love That Dog Hollywood” Radio Show to let the world know that he was available for adoption!

Much to our surprise, we were contacted by Bear’s previous owner James the day before the show, informing us that he had, in fact, survived and was out of the hospital and desperate to have his Saint back home! We were so thankful to learn that he was in a position to care for his canine companion again that we drove Bear to James' neighborhood and asked James to meet us out front for the reunion. As you can SEE by Bear’s heartwarming reunion video below (supplied by Bill Lett), rescue involves more than just finding new homes for dogs... sometimes it involves reuniting owners with the best friend they thought they may have lost forever.
